Stencil your own Christmas T shirt workshop

Year 5 pupils from Hollybush Primary School travelled to Lawnswood
to participate in a ‘stencil your own Christmas T shirt workshop’ led by Mrs
Tweedy and ably assisted by selected 6th form students as well
as Miss Boldra and Mrs Hawkins.

The workshop provided the Hollybush pupils with
the experience of a practical Textile activity in one of Lawnswood School’s
specialist Textile rooms, starting with a practice print of their favourite
Christmas stencil and building up to stencilling their own T shirt with the
added addition of glitter if they wanted to add it (of course most did!) whilst
listening to Christmas songs to get them in the festive mood! As well as the
stencilling exercise the young pupils were told about the after care of the T
shirt, including ironing on the reverse to fix the dye, so will hopefully have
some gained some life skill knowledge for the future? The majority of the
Hollybush pupils also said they were planning to wear their T shirt to school
the following day for ‘Wear a Christmas jumper to School Day’ which is high
praise indeed.

Tour de France Workshop

On Wednesday 27th June the Modern Foreign Languages department delivered a KS2 Tour de France workshop.

On the day

150
pupils came together from Weetwood, Ireland Wood, Iveson, Hawksworth
Wood and Spring Bank primary schools, to take part in our Tour de France
workshop.

The workshop allowed every pupil to take part in a
French themed treasure hunt, which involved them working as a team to
collect the most points. Each station was named after a Yorkshire place
that was on the Tour de France map which was designed on our hall floor.

What has been remembered about the day

‘’Our
children really enjoyed it and it is always great for them to
experience a different school and get the chance to meet other teachers
and pupils.’’ - Ireland Wood primary

‘’They all came back to school even more excited about the Tour de France’’

Thankyou

A
special thank you goes to Ms Gilbank and Ms Melia for organising the
Tour De France workshop and bringing everyone together for such exciting
day.
